I like the water ape theory in the romantic sense, but it's important to remember that it's pseudo science. It's fun to think of the ramifications though. Are/can we look for human fossils in the right places? How much of our history is potentially under water and not African caves. Did it help spur fire usage so that we could safely eat fish? Did it influence the out of Africa migration which was mostly coastal (we got to Australia before Europe)? It probably didn't affect our evolution much but I suspect a lot more of our pre-history was spent at least on the shallow ocean than we have evidence for.
